Sharks appeared long before the dinosaurs. Their oldest fossils date back to somewhere between 450 and 420 million years ago, before there were land animals and when few plants had even colonized land. The first dinosaurs didn't appear until 230 million years ago. The sharks also outlasted the non-avian dinosaurs during the K-T extinction 65.5 million years ago, and they will probably continue to swim in the oceans for hundreds of millions of years to come.
